Photocopies of Willauer, George J. (1972), ‘An Irish Friend and the American Civil War: Some Letters of Frederic W. Pim to His Father in Dublin 1864’, The Journal of the Friends Historical Society 53, no. 1, pp. 62-75.
The article regards correspondence offering a perspective on the American Civil War through the lens of an Irish Quaker observer, shedding light on both the religious/moral attitudes of the Religious Society of Friends toward the conflict and the social and wartime conditions in America during 1864. Pim himself was not an emigrant but visited the United States between April and August 1864. The article does not contain actual letter transcripts.
